commit 01105c25434a7ead121d7f37adbb3a5afcd4f8a1 Author: teor <teor@torproject.org> Date: Mon Feb 10 12:45:49 2020 +1000 Prop 311 & 312: Some changes affect IPv6 stats When a change increases an IPv6 statistic, mention the impact in proposals 311 and 312. Related to proposal 313, which covers IPv6 statistics.
